Download NetDraw from UCINet. Take the .dl from NameGenWeb and open it with NetDraw. Use K Core analysis to group the clusters of people together. You should get an image that looks like the following:

Unlabeled Social Network Graph with K Cores

A k-core is a maximal group of actors, all of whom are connected to some number (k) of other members of the group. To be included in a k-plex, an actor must be tied to all but k other actors in the group. The k-core approach is more relaxed, allowing actors to join the group if they are connected to k members, regardless of how many other members they may not be connected to. By varying the value of k (that is, how many members of the group do you have to be connected to), different pictures can emerge. K-cores can be (and usually are) more inclusive than k-plexes. And, as k becomes smaller, group sizes will increase.[1]
